Divinum sedare dolorem. ("It is diving to alleviate pain.")

“Dearest Princess Celestia,

Over these past few months I've learned that friendship is one of the greatest gifts in the world, but today I learned that it can be the most painful thing in the world too. When one friend is suffering we all feel it, and I'm ashamed to say that sometimes I wonder if I hurt more than the friend in trouble. I've never known any pain as bad as this before and would do anything to make it stop. Anything but give up on my friend, that is. Even with all the worry, the guilt, and the helpless fear, losing her is the only thing that would be even more painful than what I'm feeling now.

Since I moved to Ponyville I have really tried to become more independent and capable of taking care of myself and others. However, I must ask of you, my dearest teacher, to help me now. My good and loyal friend Rainbow Dash is hurt very badly and no one can figure out how to make her better. She fell from the sky and has been screaming and crying in pain non-stop since. There's a wound on top of her head that won't heal no matter what we do. Medicines, both modern and mystic, and all of my magic can do little more than keep her from thrashing about and hurting herself even more. As she cries she also keeps calling out for the comfort of her mother, who sadly is no longer with us. Our hearts are breaking.

I beg you, dearest teacher and Princess, please help her.

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle”

UNDER ROYAL SEAL OF PRINCESS CELESTIA

“My Most Faithful Student,

What you describe of Rainbow Dash's condition has baffled my entire court and counsel, but that is not to say that I am completely ignorant as to its origins. Go back to your friend and comfort her, with your presence if nothing else. Apply neither medicine nor magic upon her, no matter what! Instead give her only your unconditional love. It may not relieve her physical pain, but it will mend your hearts.

You need not beg ever, my beloved student, and more importantly you need not despair. As surely and swiftly as the first rays of dawn kiss the earth, I will be in Ponyville upon the sunrise.”

Even with Princess Celestia's assurances it was a tough night for everypony. There was no small amount of fretting and crying. Fluttershy let Applejack take over stroking and comforting Rainbow Dash, who still cried non-stop and begged for relief — and her mother. Nopony thought it would be possible, but most were able to catch a quick nap. Even in their short dreams they could only see and hear Rainbow's torment.

Applejack was so exhausted that she fell asleep while holding their sick friend. Twilight climbed into the bed to cuddle and comfort Applejack, though she didn't get a moment's rest herself.

When the first glow of dawn peeked through the windows Twilight Sparkle leapt up and opened the door. She stood in the threshold, anxiously awaiting her teacher yet not daring to step outside and "disobey her orders." She stared at the horizon as the brushstrokes of pinks, reds and oranges appeared.

The first lick of sunlight over the mountains exploded into a brilliant ball of light, forcing the unicorn to shield her eyes. When she looked again there was Princess Celestia in all of her radiant glory. Yet she was without coach or guard, and the goddess incarnate couldn't hide the weariness in her eyes.

Before Twilight could speak Princess Celestia was already upon her, giving her a quick nuzzle. The violet unicorn felt a sudden excitement and hope as she scampered back inside, quickly followed by the princess. Pinkie Pie jumped off the bed and they all bowed to her, but Celestia quickly said, "Arise," while rushing to Rainbow Dash. In an instant the straps holding Dash in place snapped free and her body slid back onto the middle of the bed. The other bed in front shot back to its proper place.

Princess Celestia immediately started licking Rainbow's face then, with special attention, the wound on top of her head.

"Mommy? Is that you, Mommy?" Rainbow whimpered.

Princess Celestia climbed onto the bed then started nuzzling and hugging Rainbow Dash. "Yes, Mommy is here for you."

Everypony else thought they were trapped in some bizarre dream. But the haze broke when the nurse let out an agonized squeal and began sobbing. Twilight rushed over and nudged her while whispering, "What's wrong? Princess Celestia's here. She'll take care of everything!"

"No," the nurse said as quietly as her sobs would let her, "You don't understand. She wouldn't pretend to be her mother unless... she's dying!"

The room started spinning around Twilight and her body went cold. Before she could collapse her teacher's teary voice set the world right again. "No, she's not dying. Rainbow Dash will be fine." Celestia then rested her muzzle over the sky-blue pegasus and took a second to gain her composure. "And I am not pretending." She nuzzled Dash's face, pushing it up so she could look the filly in the eyes. She sucked in a deep breath and released it noisily before admitting, "Rainbow Dash, I am your mother."

Not even the princess knew if Rainbow Dash knew what she was saying, not that the other fillies were sure they understood the sounds coming from Celestia's mouth.

"What the br...!" Applejack cried out, cut short by Twilight Sparkle's telekinetic muzzling.

Pinkie Pie didn't hesitate to say, "You know, I guess it's kind'a obvious now that you mention it. Seriously guys, they both have that whole Rainbow Brite thing going on with their hair..."

Pinkie Pie stopped short when Princess Celestia cleared her throat. "Come round, my good subjects. I shall tell you a story. It's about a secret that's been kept for far too long."

They sat on the floor before she continued. "You see, years ago a certain earth pony had business in my court. On the outside he seemed normal enough and, like most ponies, was good at his trade. However, he had this way about him. At first his charm wasn't apparent. His mannerisms were a bit 'unusual,' and I couldn't help but snicker as he was pleading his case. His eyes lit up and from that moment on then he did everything he could to make me laugh. It wasn't long before everyone, the guards, the courtiers, and even myself were laughing uncontrollably. It had been nearly a millennium since I'd felt so joyous, better than at any time since imprisoning my sister. Anyway, I was so desperate to make the feeling last that I insisted he stay for dinner. He was anxious to return home to his wife and newborn foal, but he finally agreed. After dinner, a few bottles of wine and then several hours of conversation we... we had an 'indiscretion.'"

Applejack's draw dropped and Rarity gasped. It took Twilight Sparkle a minute to figure out what the princess meant. It was that icky sex stuff she had to learn in middle school. Fluttershy covered her face to hide her intense blushing.

"You go girl! Woo!" Pinkie Pie shouted while waving a hoof in the air. However, she quickly noticed her friends' angry glares and stopped. She put her hoof over her mouth and slowly laid back down.

To everypony's surprise, Princess Celestia chuckled before continuing. "He felt terrible afterwards, but I insisted on taking full responsibility for my actions. I altered his memories and sent him back to his family. A few months later, before I began to show, I went into seclusion. 'To study and meditate in private,' with only my most trusted servants to help me through my pregnancy. I also used that time to decide how I would explain my foal's arrival without causing scandal. Total honesty, less the father's identity, seemed like the best choice."

Celestia paused to nuzzle and lick her girl. "Then you were born, my sweet Freyja. I was overjoyed, and so very anxious to announce your arrival to all of Equestria. Even if my foal was not a unicorn I was still proud as ever. Though alas, I was in denial. My advisors wisely made me admit the truth: she'd never be fully accepted in the Court of Canterlot. I'm ashamed to even think it, but if she had been born a unicorn then it wouldn't have mattered as much, but I knew that my little one would face all kinds of teasing and bullying from the other youngsters; even the adults would scoff at the idea of her being in my court. Not openly of course, but what is whispered in the back stalls can be just as devastating to a society."

The Princess sighed and wiped away a few tears. "I was told of a pegasus mare who was recovering at John Hockins University Hospital, near Canterlot. She and her husband were older, but it was well known that they had desperately wanted a foal of their own for all their years. The moment I met them I knew that they would love my Freyja with all their heart. They didn't know whose child they were adopting, and they gladly swore to raise her to believe they were her true parents. When they returned to Ponyville they were to say that her illness had in fact been a complicated pregnancy. Then I used my magic to send my breast milk..."

"T.M.I.!" Fluttershy squeaked.

The princess brought a hoof up to her mouth. "Oh dear, yes!" she giggled.

Applejack used the pause to speak up. "But beggin' your majesty's pardon, but what does all that have to do with Rainbow Dash getting hurt?"

Rainbow Dash suddenly clutched Princess Celestia with all four legs and started huffing, "Mommy! What's happening? I'm scared!"

"There there, everything is going to be fine. Mommy will take care of you," the princess told her daughter. Then she answered Applejack, "You are about to witness it for yourself."

Rarity muttered, "Well that was very convenient timing."

Celestia licked the wound some more and then cuddled Dash's head. The little pegasus let out a soft high-pitched whine that they thought would never end. She sucked in a deep breath and began trembling all over. Celestia had to use her magic to keep her child from hitting herself. Then Dash suddenly thrust her head back and her eyes crossed as she tried hard to look upward. She struggled to hold her breath, letting out a short squeak every so often as every muscle in her body strained to the breaking point.

Then, with everypony's eyes glued on the spot, a bump erupted from beneath the gash on her head. It kept rising, twisting, and after several excruciating seconds a four-inch horn had grown out of her skull!

Rarity fainted and Fluttershy tended to her. Applejack couldn't stop staring. Twilight Sparkle crossed her own eyes to look up at her own horn and compare sizes. "That's why I couldn't find anything really wrong with her, and her not sleeping and the bowl must have been her own magic," she said mostly to herself.

Pinkie Pie jumped up with one foreleg on the bed to support herself; with her other hoof she reached towards the new horn. "Aww, it's so keyuuute!"

"Don't touch," Princess Celestia said in a kindly voice, but it was enough to make the excitable filly immediately back off.

"I love you, Mommy," Rainbow Dash sighed before laying her head against her mother, looking more contented than anypony could remember. "And you guys better not tease me about any of this or else," she added before finally falling into a peaceful sleep.

Princess Celestia whispered, "While we let her sleep all of you must get some rest as well." The others looked at one another and shifted nervously. "What? Oh dear, I do not mean that you have to leave. There are plenty of beds right here after all." After sharing her pain all night, everypony was delighted they could share in her peace too.

The nurse climbed onto her cot and was fast asleep in moments. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy crawled into one of the beds, the latter falling asleep quickly even with Pinkie half-consciously chewing on her mane. Twilight curled up behind Celestia and pressed herself close. The princess laid a wing open over her faithful student. Both smiled as the violet unicorn quickly fell into safe dreams.

Applejack and Rarity contemplated the only remaining bed and then glared at each other. But after looking back at Rainbow Dash, sleeping peacefully, they made a wordless agreement to get along.

Just before falling asleep Rarity suddenly jumped up out of bed. Celestia raised her daughter's head, allowing the white unicorn to slip her favorite pillow under the new alicorn's still-tender noggin. When Rarity went to get back in bed with Applejack she accidentally kicked Pinkie and Fluttershy's bed.

Pinkie Pie stirred. "Princess Celesta, your honor?" she mewled.

"Yes, dear Pinkie Pie?"

"Are you going to give Rainbow Dash presents for all her birthdays you missed?"

"Why, I suppose I should," Princess Celestia laughed. "And your father can pay all of her back child support too."

Everypony except Dash snapped awake, all but one of them gawking at their princess in utter disbelief. But Pinkie Pie instantly leapt out of bed and started hopping around the room, calling out in sing-song, "I have a sis-ter! I have a sis-ter!..."

Princess Celestia tucked her head to hide her very guilty smile. "Oops."
